Is rhyming ever used in Tanach?

From: Yossi Aron To: SBA
Not that I can think of but at least two places play with sounds:
1. re Nechash hanechoshet -- im noshach hanachash etc
2. My father alav hashalom always pointed out: grammatically we use mah with
a patach or kamatz except in front of a guttural letter (see eg Mah anu, Meh
chayeenu in Leolam yehei adam).
One exception: in the haftorah re Shaul and Amalek Shmuel hanavi says to
Shaul: Meh Kol Hatzon?
Why Meh and not mah?
Think about it -- what noise do sheep make? Me'e'eh
